MATIC Linear Options Update

Polygon Labs has announced a significant change for its ecosystem: the migration of the MATIC token to a new token called POL, scheduled to take place on September 4, 2024. This transition is part of Polygon’s broader “Polygon 2.0” roadmap.

Liquidity and peer market listings of POL are unclear at this moment causing potential concerns to market quality of POL options after 4 Sep 2024.

For that reason Deribit has decided to:

👋 No longer add new MATIC or POL options instruments expiring in Sep 2024 and beyond.
👋 Delist the MATIC_USDC-Perpetual as of 30 Aug 8 AM UTC immediately after the regular settlement. The open positions will be closed at the delivery price for MATIC of that day as published here.
👋 Continue trading in MATIC spot markets for now.

Expansion and Migration of Operations within LD4 Data Center
 
⚠️ The information below does not impact users connecting over internet to www.deribit.com or asia.deribit.com.

⚠️ Clients connecting over the Deribit AWS integration, or connecting via partners like Beeks, LiuidityConnect, UltraFX etc will not have to do anything.

Due to our rapid growth and continued success, we are pleased to announce establishment of a direct partnership with Equinix to expand our operations at the London LD4 data center. The new agreement will allow us to significantly increase our rack space for clients (colocation) and enhance our capabilities for Deribit like hot failover, staging, and testing setups.
 
However, this expansion also necessitates the migration of our platform, all colocation servers, and all cross connects (including those of our partners) to a larger location within the LD4 facility.
 
As we prepare for and execute this transition over the coming months, we want to assure you that we will do our utmost to make this migration as seamless and transparent as possible.
 
⚠️ For clients with cross connects or colocation servers in our racks, we will provide detailed instructions to ensure that your connection is migrated smoothly. You can expect further communication from us as the migration progresses.
 
Indicative timing - will be made more definitive soon

👋 October - Deribit preparing matching engine production site at new location in LD4
👋 Early November - migration of Deribit Production to new setup including routing of all colo & cross connect traffic to new location from old site.
👋 From the week of 18 November onwards - gradual migration of colo servers to new location with limited server downtime
👋 From 1st of December - preparing new cross connects from LD4 meet me room to new location
 
If you are considering requesting or adding a cross connect after September 1st, please request connections to both our current and new locations. Starting November 1st, we will only accept cross connections to our new facility. Connections created to our current location after September 1st will not be migrated to the new location.

Deribit will obviously facilitate the above free of charges.

Should you have any questions or need assistance specifically related to the migration, please reach out to us at migration@sentillia.com. We appreciate your support and look forward to this exciting new chapter together.

Maintenance - Tuesday 3 September 2024 9 AM UTC

⚠️ Expected downtime: 15 - 30 minutes

👋 Client impact: The system will be down for around 15 - 30 minutes. Client systems will not be able to communicate with Deribit during this time.

Key changes:

👋 API: private/add_to_address_book and private/update_in_address_book: when executed for one of the ETH/ERC20 supported currencies, we will automatically add or update the address for all other ETH/ERC20 supported currencies.

👋 FIX: NewOrderSingle (D) and OrderCancelReplaceRequest (G) once again support QtyType=Units, allowing the OrderQty to be sent in units (amount) instead of contracts.

Release notes

Deribit KYC refresh Infographic

👋 As shared earlier Deribit intends to start operating from Dubai soon, having obtained a license from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).

👋 For that reason we have commenced a KYC refresh campaign which requires all clients to submit recent KYC info and answer some new questions.

👋 The goal is to activate the Dubai spot & derivatives license in Q4 this year so please finalise this as soon as possible (and many thanks if you already did!) to avoid Reduce Only mode. For individual accounts it will only take a few minutes and can be done here: Verification.

👋 This infographic is meant to provide clarity of the potential outcomes of the ongoing client classification.
